Imagine the situation, " You are driving alone in a desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone.”What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS receiver with you. It may be able to help you. It is a device(装置)which uses satellites to find the user's position. It can find your position within 20 meters. A GPS receiver cannot start your car,but at least you will know where you are.
The GPS,which means the Global Positioning System, is a great invention. There are three parts to the GPS. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand,or have it fixed into your car,plane, etc. Some receivers have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street. The second part to the GPS is a group of satellites orbiting (绕.. 运行)the earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates(计算) its position. The third part to the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well.
Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the Internet. It is becoming more and more accurate(精确的) and cheaper to use. Everyone will have a GPS receiver and you will never be lost again.
